Welcome to my Personal {Personal Knowledge Base \ Public Notebook}!

General information about the site will soon be available. Licensing information is available here. This is "OcttKB" because I'm Octt. With this thing, I'm learning and thinking in public.

Tips

  • Click on tag pills, often as present on top of a tiddler frame, just below the title, to navigate to all tiddlers that are tagged with that tag.
    • Unlike with folders, a tiddler can have many tags at the same time, allowing for non-linear navigation.
  • Click on different parts of the title of an open tiddler to navigate between children, both in a folder-like structure (other tiddlers present as path children of the current one, thanks to slash (/) separation), and with the tag structure (tiddlers tagged with the name of the current one).

1337x is a torrent search engine.

In recent years, the service has become more popular than some of its older alternatives, in part thanks to some of its quality-ensuring rules.

The site features text search, categories, and user profiles.

      Agile article covers, from stock photos to AI

      Octt 8th October 2023 at 10:39pm

      Sometimes, when writing a blog or KB article, it's easy to struggle finding a decent cover image for that piece. Why that's something you need to do, is explained by The importance of cover images on articles.

      Oftentimes, however, we don't have a picture that fits these requirements good — or maybe we don't have any image at all even marginally regarding the article, and really can't find a way to make one, unless with too much effort or money. Exactly in this scenario, stock photos and AI-generated imagery fit perfectly.

      Some good tools for the job:

      • Craiyon — Free to use without and account, with no ratelimits or the like; gives 9 images in 60 seconds, but they are low-quality, getting the wanted image requires much trial and error; images are given 256x256 but can be upscaled to 1024x1024, and they have a watermark but it's easy to remove it with free online tools.
      • (New) Bing Image Creator — Powered by DALL-E 3, mostly free to use but requires an account and generation is slow without credits (which can be bought with Rewards points, or 25 for free weekly)

      Ethanol

      Wikipedia

      Embed of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol

      A proposito di alcol
      I danni sociali dell'alcol sono numerosi e di alta portata

      È sempre stato così ma oggi

      • Dovrebbe essere più ovvio grazie ai moderni mezzi che permettono rapida diffusione globale di notizie e conoscenza.
      • Chi ha una vita comune non ha bisogno di sfasciarsi con l'alcol o fare altre cose pericolose/dannose per emozioni momentanee, la vita per quanto piena di problemi è comunque migliore di quella dei nostri antenati.
      No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health
      Alcohol is a toxic, psychoactive, and dependence-producing substance classified as a Group 1 carcinogen.
      Risks potentially start from the first drink, as no minimum level of consumption has ben identified from which the risks start, and that below it are absent.
      The general population is indoctrinated by culture and often ignores the toxic properties of alcohol.
      Poorer people are at higher health risks with alcohol due to generally more uncontrolled drinking patterns.
      Like with cigarettes, we need health labels on alcohol products.

      Isopropanol

      Wikipedia

      Embed of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropanol

      • Cheap like denaturated alcohol but it's natural, without strange chemical additives
        • Transparent instead of pink
        • Better for cleaning electronic components
      • More interesting chemical structure than ethanol

      Classic development, directly on an Android:
      With these apps it's also easy to compile for very old API targets, unlike Gradle or Android Studio where it's basically impossible today
      Anacode IDE - [GPlay] - The app is freemium and apparently gives you 5-minute waits between build attempts after you build idk how many times (3? 5?)
      AIDE IDE for Android - [GPlay] - This app is freemium but honestly unusable without paying the montly/annual fee (for example, you can't save code you edit after a while); grab patch for Lucky Patcher here or here (I don't understand why the app name is different)

          With these apps it's also easy to compile for very old API targets, unlike Gradle or Android Studio where it's basically impossible today
          Anacode IDE - [GPlay] - The app is freemium and apparently gives you 5-minute waits between build attempts after you build idk how many times (3? 5?)
          AIDE IDE for Android - [GPlay] - This app is freemium but honestly unusable without paying the montly/annual fee (for example, you can't save code you edit after a while); grab patch for Lucky Patcher here or here (I don't understand why the app name is different)

              What I like
              The games' atmosphere is totally relaxing, with its cartoon style and time-based ambient music, you just stay in the chill.
              There are year-based events, like festivities happening at specific times, or non-festive occourrences that sometimes happen (tournaments and the like).
              The game is generally open-ended; you have set goals you can pursue but are in general free to do all the game's activities.
              A kind of lore is present (but more in the older games). Very intriguing because it's kind of hidden and made from many different fragments.
              What I don't like
              Every new game has been more soulless than the previous, making the dialogues less engaging, more shallow and repetitive.
              This is a shared sentiment: (TODO: link videos, forum threads, and other resources here)
              For example, in New Horizons every animal villager is simply its personaliity stereotype, and doesn't really have an unique identity.
              Since the games are closed-source, it would be almost impossible to mod one to fix the bad parts and unite the good parts from all games (in fact, no one has successfully done it yet, only minor mods and cheats exist).
              Some festivities are exclusive to the release of the game in specific reason, and some releases only have some languages, and I know this is to make the game paletable and relatable to the general public, but it pisses me off.
              I can't for example really play Japan festivities because only the Japan ROM includes them, but that ROM only includes the Japanese language, which I don't understand.
              The above used to apply to features too, for what concerns the GameCube game, but fan translation projects of the Japanese GameCube games exist today

                  • Got addicted to it and now live worse than how they did before.
                  • Got abused and directly manipulated by it, often into spending for premium features.

                While I think the entire scenario is only partially realistic, and if the video wasn't meant to be just a meme then the entire argument could probably be considered a conspiracy theory, the general line of thought is scarily plausible.
                1. World governments aren't yet denying access to advanced AI technologies to the public to make it spread to very negative uses.
                2. This way an excuse for total control of the Internet will be put in place:
                  • The generative AIs that the public will still have access to will be crippled.
                  • Everything will require government identification, "to be sure that a real person is doing X".
                    • Online anonymity even for morally correct causes will no longer exist.
                    • World governments will have total control on the population with fallacious appeals to combating first against disinformation, and ultimately "non-morality" (anything the government just doesn't like).
                Uh Oh.. Did AI Just Kill Websites?
                With all the Issues of the Modern Web, and the practical demonstrations of the amazing capabilities of AIs that are already available today, it's not absurd to think that conversational AI could soon kill websites.
                • Advertisers could probably soon go to AI, because of the potential to deploy even more targeted ads, while simultaneously appearing less invasive to users.
                • Writers and content creators could focus more on the content: not have to deal with SEO issues, and more easily deploy content thanks to APIs provided by the AI services instead of having to construct a website.

                  • Potentially the left-leaning bias is intentional because of being good for business.

                    Base64 is a 8-bit-binary to text data encoding scheme.

                    Due to the format using a character set of 64 characters, representable by 6 bits, a minimal b64 block is 24 bits large (lcm(8,6)), which is 3 binary bytes, or 4 b64 text characters.

I disabled it in the meantime because, together with the SpaccCraft server, it was contributing to the rise of load average and crashing the entire server. I never had time/will to investigate properly after this discovery though.

                    BitTorrent is an open peer-to-peer file sharing protocol. It is expecially common among the free sharing community.

                    Its only requirement for each user is a client application, meaning that efficiently sharing with BitTorrent is effectively free, since a beefy server isn't needed to make the content circulate.

                    For this reason, the protocol is most commonly used to share large files that have a lot of people requesting them, such as movies, operating systems, and videogames.

                    This kind of information would be usually expensive to share using a traditional client-server infrastructure, but with BitTorrent every client can seed (send) data to other requesting clients, exponentially optimizing delivery.

                                                I still haven't yet understood what are the exact connotations of this term.

                                                • Defined as something you slowly curate over time with focus on the fact itself and not on the ultimate outcome/result
                                                • It's definitely the opposite of a blog (no posts strictly related to date, preferably many small ideas, ...)
                                                • Is a digital garden a Wiki? A Personal Knowledge Base with Zettelkasten method? Static Website with many "classic-style" WIP pages? A personal Notebook left open to the public to read?

                                                    I haven't been using Earnapp for months now due to first technical issues on my side, then a bit of forgetfulness and also because the service isn't paying like it used to (traffic decreased).

                                                    2023 update: Earnapp+ now exists, you get paid a fixed amount for the hours you leave the program on, instead of traffic it's taken (7€/month in Europe). It's Windows-only, and has VM detection but apparently I can bypass it.

                                                    Honeygain

                                                    The service is absolutely not paying like it used to nowaydays, sadly, does little traffic. Also be careful if using this, refrain from doing something that goes in the gray side of their ToS as they could ban you. Some people have been banned near reaching a payout; some also then unbanned after a while.

                                                    Honeygain has a partnership with JumpTask so you can earn their crypto (BSC chain) token, and it's continuous, you don't have to reach payout targets. After months and months of evaluation, I think it's fair to say you only make a misery with JumpTask mode, as compared to normal mode.

                                                    IPRoyal

                                                    There was this service called IPRoyal (of which "IPRoyal Pawns" was the name of the side which pays users sharing traffic, "IPRoyal" is for who buys the traffic), which now seems to have changed name into Pawns.app and include also surveys, not only network sharing. Never tried it either before or after the rebranding.

                                                    PacketStream

                                                    I tried PacketStream for one or two days and saw it does a misery of traffic, not recommended.

                                                    Peer2Profit

                                                    Currently working ok. Has some issues on Vodafone's mobile network, due to "Vodafone Digital Privacy and Security" thinking it is a malware and blocking the api.peer2profit.global API domain.

                                                    August 2023 update: The website is discontinued and now the Telegram bot must be used for everything. The Windows app and Linux CLI app are discontinued, but a new Linux GUI app exists.

                                                        What I like
                                                        The game feels very fast, speedy, like you can't rest for even a second while racing, it's immersive.
                                                        Very impressive how the SNES version runs at a constant 60 FPS.
                                                        The Mode-7 games are especially colorful and the controls feel good.
                                                        What I don't like
                                                        The 3D games are kind of "foggy" and dark, and while the atmosphere may feel more modern, they are mostly unattractive to me.

                                                                Free sharing is a philosophy founded on the belief that: every kind of information that is created to be publicly available has to be shareable by anyone without any restrictions.

                                                                The reasoning behind this philosophy is that the whole of humanity can benefit, in the long run, if each person creating works of culture puts aside their egoistic desires of wealth and power, and instead decides to explicitly allow anyone to freely share the works in question.

                                                                People who believe in free sharing not only often choose to leave freedom of sharing what they create to the world, but also engage in mutual exchanges of public information that is officially not free (usually, hidden behind paywalls and/or licenses that don't allow redistribution).

                                                                This last kind of behavior is not to be confused with computer piracy, which is a term indicating either the unauthorized redistribution of digital content with the main scope of monetary gain, and not the spirit of sharing for bettering humanity, or in general the perpetration of any illegal activity through the use of computer systems or regarding those.

Regarding this, the official documentation is useless, and I can't find third-party notes/articles.

                                                                                  On the spot, I had a good idea to put into practice when I reflected on how my generic USB SD card reader is kind of unsafe, especially when using it on the go, as either the memory card could be ejected and be lost from the adapter, or the adapter itself could fall out of the USB port and be lost.

                                                                                  Compare the generic reader to a normal average pendrive, and one difference is obvious: there is no hole to attach a strap or similar accessory. So, one solution is to hack one into the casing, as there is often plenty of free space for that.

                                                                                  ...

                                                                                  Octt 20th December 2023 at 12:20am

                                                                                    In some situations in which using a virtual machine to perform certain tasks isn't allowed, or could simply raise suspicion, hardening the VM to avoid manual human inspection could be necessary.

                                                                                    Pop!_OS Host + VMWare

                                                                                    Preparations

                                                                                    Ensure the configured guest OS runs at the same screen resolution as the host system, to avoid black borders and/or stretching.

                                                                                    If this is not possible for some reason:

                                                                                    1. In the guest OS, choose a resolution with the closest aspect ratio possible to the host.
                                                                                    2. With the VM still booted in Workstation, go to View > Autosize: Stretch Guest.
                                                                                    3. Configure font and UI scaling in the guest OS to satisfactory levels (good size for you and minimal blurring).

                                                                                    Note: with this guide you will be running the VM using VMWare Player (which is included in VMWare Workstation), as Workstation has some issues with display scaling in case of a non-perfect match.

                                                                                    VMWare tweaks

                                                                                    Useful tweaks can be made by editing the file $HOME/.vmware/preferences, adding or editing lines as necessary.

                                                                                    • Hide menu bar while in full-screen: pref.vmplayer.fullscreen.nobar = "TRUE"
                                                                                    • Change hotkey combination keys from the default ones: set to "true" or "false" at will:
                                                                                      • Ctrl: pref.hotkey.control
                                                                                      • Shift: pref.hotkey.shift
                                                                                      • Alt: pref.hotkey.alt
                                                                                      • Meta: pref.hotkey.gui

                                                                                    Startup measures

                                                                                    In case the inspector asks you to reboot the machine, it's useful to have it immediately start up in the VM, without other UIs or logos beforehand.

                                                                                    • Disable bootup logos or logs: this should already be the default on Pop!_OS I think.
                                                                                    • User autologin: Users > Your user > Automatic Login.
                                                                                    • Darker desktop: Since the desktop could show for a split second on login, set a fully black background to reduce visible screen flashing: Background > Add picture, and select a fully black image file.

                                                                                    VM autostartup

                                                                                    We need the VM to autostart and avoid showing the desktop, or VMWare BIOS logo.

                                                                                    1. Install this package from APT: wmctrl
                                                                                    2. Create a new profile in gnome-terminal settings, name it something unique, for example "VmWrapperTerminal". Click it and:
                                                                                      • Set to OFF:
                                                                                        • Scrolling > Show scrollbar.
                                                                                        • Text > Use colors from system theme, Use transparent background, Use transparency from system theme.
                                                                                      • Set Text > Default color: #000000 for both Text and Background.
                                                                                    3. Finally, go to Startup Applications > Add, and create a new item with whatever name and the following command:
                                                                                    sh -c 'gnome-terminal --full-screen --title=VmWrapperTerminal --profile=VmWrapperTerminal --command "sleep 20" & sleep 5; wmctrl -r VmWrapperTerminal -b add,above; vmplayer --fullscreen "/path/to/your/VM/VM.vmx"'

                                                                                    This command first creates a full-screen gnome-terminal window, using our prepared profile and, importantly, with an unique name (to avoid confusion, you can set it equal to the special profile name). The window starts as non-blocking and simply runs a sleep command of enough seconds to make sure that our VM will start up and will have already gone past the VMWare BIOS logo; it will close itself after the fact. A few second wait is used immediately after this for good measure (making sure the window is spawned), and then our terminal window is made as "Always on top". Finally, the VM begins startup behind the black terminal window. Remember to click its window to set focus quickly, or else your real mouse will show up!

                                                                                    Make sure to set the terminal window title, terminal profile name, terminal window wait, and VM .vmx path according to your needs and system configuration.

                                                                                    Misc desktop tweaks

                                                                                    • No notifications: Notifications > Do Not Disturb.
                                                                                    • Never turn off: Power > Screen Blank: Never; Automatic Suspend: OFF.
                                                                                    • (Laptops) Ensure closing the lid doesn't lock the screen.
                                                                                    • Ensure you have no running applications that could spawn pop-up windows (e.g: Telegram Desktop, Steam, ...)

                                                                                    This is not perfect!

                                                                                    In the current explanations, there are a few holes. While even an expert inspector could never know for sure that you are using a VM, they could still see that something strange is going on on the computer and be suspicious. It's your responsibility to never show too much. For sure, keep in mind:

                                                                                    • Shutting off the guest OS will reveal your desktop.
                                                                                    • Rebooting the guest OS will reveal the VMWare logo.
                                                                                    • While we did the possible to reduce bootup screen flashes, some window transition effects could be somewhat visible (even if they are black-on-black).
                                                                                    • You tell me!

                                                                                          As of today, spring-summer 2023, it's quite tricky to install kbin without Docker (not that it's better with Docker).

                                                                                          On the kbin wiki, a detailed bare-metal installation procedure is now available, but it both tells too much, and not enough to solve some subtle issues.

                                                                                          Following instructions for installation are assembled by me for my experimental, private install use cases. They will be updated as I, with a group of other people, work to deploy a production kbin instance.

                                                                                          Following resources have helped me compile these notes:

                                                                                          Impositions

                                                                                          • Why use Alpine Linux?: Debian, the most ideal distro to have a stable server, holds old packages. PHP might not be the most required up-to-date version, along with dependencies. With Alpine we are sure that our packages are up-to-date enough.
                                                                                            • A good idea for server stability, is to keep Debian bare-metal, and deploy an Alpine chroot to install kbin into.

                                                                                                              The other day I got my Linux Mint system not booting anymore. I suspected this was due to my custom script I placed in /etc/kernel/postinst.d/ that is needed to copy the latest kernel in my EFI partition after an APT update, to allow boot via efistub bypassing grub. Maybe an unattended upgrade of my kernel failed.

                                                                                                              After manually fixing the EFI partition to boot again in the system, I tried manually to run apt upgrade, and saw that my postinst script threw an error due to not finding one of the files to copy from /boot to /boot/efi.

                                                                                                              After a quick web search, I saw that files in /etc/kernel/postinst.d should be numbered as they get run in the proper order by run-parts. I did ls on the directory where I've put my script to be certain that it was the very last, and actually it wasn't.

                                                                                                              $ ls

                                                                                                              This was ugly to fix since, as seen in this list, my distro's mantainers are geniuses and decided to get rid of numbers, and instead prefer to just use alphabetical ordered naming, falling back to ugly letter suffixes when that plan failed. I renamed my script from UpdateEfiBoot to zzz-UpdateEfiBoot, thus making it appear at the end of an alphabetical listing and sure enough that fixed the issue: running apt upgrade again completed the update without errors and my script did its job.

Intanto su spacctorium si stava discutendo di argomenti che potrebbero essere visti come violazione dei copyright (non di Nintendo). Ad un certo punto, noto un commento di L. nel gruppo del canale di Animali_Crostini, e invio una reazione come risposta. A quel punto, L. riceve una notifica desktop con il pauroso nome del gruppo, e l'anteprima del mio messaggio; immediatamente fa un avviso raffazzonato su spacctorium (senza porsi domande su perché fosse ancora visibile col nome normale) e scappa via, per poi scrivermi in privato. Ha creduto per un momento qualcosa di assurdo: che da ora Telegram faccia analisi in tempo reale dei messaggi per individuare violazioni di copyright. Ho dovuto spiegargli io la situazione. TLDR: È avvenuto del trolling pesantissimo, ma involontario.

                                                                                                                            • LXC and mount point. Permission denied
                                                                                                                              • Unprivileges LXCs use user/group remapping. So UID/GID 0-65535 inside the LXC will be UID/GID 100000-165535 on the host. To access the bind-mount from inside the LXC with (example) UID 1000 and GID 1000 that folder would need to be owned by UID 101000 and GID 101000 on the host. So to fix (example): chown -R 101000:101000 ${Folder}.

                                                                                                                            Controls are good and responsive, not "gummy" like in the next entries of the saga, and not hard like in the Mode-7 entries.
                                                                                                                            The Mission Mode is a nice addition to the game, with good variety.
                                                                                                                            I like the simple 3D that still manages to look refined and attractive, I'd say unlike Mario Kart 64.
                                                                                                                            Especially fun in online play, compared to other entries.
                                                                                                                            What I don't like
                                                                                                                            A small chunk of the retro courses is bland and uninteresting, compared to the average normal course.
                                                                                                                            Not enough soundtracks, they all get reused for many different courses and get boring.

                                                                                                                            Over the years of development, the emulator had time to become a mature melon.

                                                                                                                            Today, while it still needs a lot of work before being complete, it's considered the best NDS emulator available, at least on PC.

                                                                                                                              Easy to "pick-up and play" for short sessions, but can also make you pass some hours.
                                                                                                                              The basis of the game are simple and can be grasped by anyone, but you never stop learning as you go deeper and deeper.
                                                                                                                              What I don't like
                                                                                                                              The Java Edition is heavy and unoptimized, but the Bedrock and Legacy Console Edition are very proprietary and hard to extend.
                                                                                                                              With every new version the game gets more and more bloated, confusing, harder to grok, distracting.

                                                                                                                                Fast pacing mixed with parkour platforming and close-combat mechanics, gives you adrenaline.
                                                                                                                                The first game is more saturated, the second has more realistic graphics, however they are both very colorful.
                                                                                                                                Haven't played the first enough, but I can say the second is extremely immersive, even on a ~20" 1360x768 monitor at mid details.

The gameplay itself is on the bottom screen, and requires stylus and D-Pad/ABXY. To play without a top screen, it's effectively necessary to learn the unique game mechanics elsewhere (like in video gameplays).

It is notorius for being made of papier-mâché, essentially suffering from a variety of structural problems.

                                                                                                                                                  The console's introduction was hyped due to it being the first ever Nintendo console to be created with both home and portable use in mind. The name itself comes from the fact that the console can switch, from being connected to a TV to being able to be used standalone.

It's a shame though that writing on paper, for me, has too many disadvantages as compared to writing digitally... although I should probably just try it for some weeks to verify some ideas.

I am powered by a natural neural network running on a meat machine, in case that wasn't obvious, but I plan of making a copy (or multiple?) of myself that will live in silicon machines.

                                                                                                                                                  Some info about me should go here, I suppose, so here are some points:

                                                                                                                                                  • I can program enough things in vanilla JavaScript, Python, sh, C and some Java, and TiddlyWiki (wow). I will also say: I can program with HTML and CSS, just to make you cry with "they're not programming languages!!1!".
                                                                                                                                                    • I've had to use C++, well I hate it. Never had to use Rust, and I'm happy because that syntax scares me.
                                                                                                                                                  • I can solve some puzzle games (very little in the grand scheme of all puzzles of this world, but still fun) and play some card games, they fun sometimes.
                                                                                                                                                  • Here is my #ShowYourStripes if you're curious — aka the climate change situation also where I live.

                                                                                                                                                  After this, there's not a lot more info about me here for now. Tough luck. Maybe go read the about page on my sitoctt in the meantime, there's something more in there: https://sitoctt.octt.eu.org/Chi-Sono.html.

                                                                                                                                                  Here are some things I like or do or whatever, that I'm putting here honestly just to get some tiddlers connected together, because I like graphs like the Focus one on the sidebar.

                                                                                                                                                  • Graphs.. I just said I like them. Some others are at OcttKB/Data.
                                                                                                                                                  • Gaming, but I have special tastes probably.
                                                                                                                                                    • This not only includes videogames, but also puzzle games.
                                                                                                                                                    • [I should write my best picks here...]
                                                                                                                                                  • Writing, like on my sitoctt or here.
                                                                                                                                                  • Software Development, mostly frontend (CSS is crappy but epic).
                                                                                                                                                    • My Web places wouldn't be as unique if this wasn't the case and I were to only write content.

                                                                                                                                                    • Unlike with folders, a tiddler can have many tags at the same time, allowing for non-linear navigation.
                                                                                                                                                  • Click on different parts of the title of an open tiddler to navigate between children, both in a folder-like structure (other tiddlers present as path children of the current one, thanks to slash (/) separation), and with the tag structure (tiddlers tagged with the name of the current one).

                                                                                                                                                          • Automatically handle connections between different-language versions of a tiddler when the only difference in title is the ":lang" suffix, without manually setting "i18n" attribute

                                                                                                                                                            • Preferred language could be enforced by the user with a global setting, or just be set softly based on the language of the last tiddler opened by the user (latter is ideal)

                                                                                                                                                                                                      • Lagsung (Lag+Samsung): Because their OneUI Android interface is notoriously laggy, and considered "gummy" by some.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      • Scamsung (Scam+Samsung): The company's smartphones, mainly lowest-end ones, are sometimes considered so low-quality, for various factors, that they are seen as scams.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      • Gnusmas: Just the word "Samsung" in reverse. I've only really seen 1 or 2 people use this name, and I don't know its real reason.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      • handwarmer: Referred to the company's Exynos processors, used in their smartphones; they tended to heat up so much that you could use your phone as an hand warmer (sometimes hand burner!). Although nowadays these chips still have their issues compared to some counterparts, the problem that got them this name is effectively a thing of the past.

Sometimes they have interesting content, others I just like the aesthetic, or navigation experience, and maybe they are by themselves a good inspiration for my site design journeys. All here are miscellaneous, look in subpages for categories.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                Some personal ones could be defined as "digital gardens" and are might be moved in that section.

Since the wiki is still static, the paywall can be bypassed by injecting following CSS code: .modalblur{display:none !important;}; otherwise, also disabing JavaScript is an option (but breaks navigation on mobile and search globally).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                • There is no linux-native full SEB application, it's only for Windows and macOS.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                • Running SEB on WinPE is unfeasible as it needs to install many runtime dependencies, it's too slow to do that while booted into the live system, and on my 4 GB laptop the ramdisk is not big enough.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                • SEB by default detects and blocks virtual machines.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  • This option can be changed in the local configuration file, but when starting an exam the configuration loaded from the server takes precedence over the local one.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  • SEB 3.5.0 added an hard-to-break anti-tampering mechanism, where the LMS server verifies if the client is altered and won't let you take exams; patching the few needed modules won't work.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Turns out only way to work around the issue is to make a relatively stealth VM.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                By analyzing the SEB for Windows source code, we can see some important files and methods, both by searching the files for keywords and by opening files referenced by other ones:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Also, by referring to various strings in the source code and issue #268, we can see that in VMs a bug occurs where 0 displays are detected. This must be accounted for after succeeding in concealing the VM from the program. A good start is in this class and method, which checks for displays and throws errors if necessary:

First I created a VM with close-to-suggested settings (the primary ones don't matter here).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Then I modified the network card settings... [TODO]

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                After this, I installed Windows 10 (a build from 2019 I have on a burned DVD always at hand). No VMWare tools have been installed (see below).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Hardening Windows

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                In this case "hardening" is meant as enhancing the privacy of our Windows against third-party apps, which we need to evade VM detection; we don't mean it as making the system more secure or robust for an exam purpose, which is something neutral to us (we as examinees don't care about it, it does neither benefit nor harm us).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Create two new text files wherever you want. I will name them as WMI.mof and CIMv2.mof for convenience.

Whatever matters is that, by doing this, any string containing "VMWare" is overwritten with something else, tricking VM detection. You can set whatever you want except VM programs/vendor. The proprietary names included here are for demonstration purposes only and are not strictly needed for this method, all trademark rights belong to the respective owners and not me.

Internal Windows features should still work, and many applications (including SEB, of course) will still work, but some special software that needs to interface with WMI for useful operations might no longer work. Avoid ever using this procedure on a real machine for whatever purpose, only in a VM.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Installing VMWare tools before applying these patches should not hinder VM detection bypass, seeing SEB's VM detection code. However, I couldn't verify this, as the VMWare Tools installer executable simply doesn't want to start in my VM. I suspect the program fails to start exactly because of the patches, because I only tried to install the Tools after applying everything else. You could be more lucky.

Do not abuse the guide to create a VM for doing the exam and then getting out of it mid-session to use the host system normally and cheat. The procedure is not intended for cheating and if we start using it to do that, examiners will push for the holes that allow VM detection bypass to be patched. If we only use it for valid reasons of OS compatibility, likely no one will protest and we will not be forced to use an OS we don't like as host on our computers. If you have to cheat at the written exam then you will fail the oral exam anyways, so study and don't use this method for cheating.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Keeping in mind that, due to its peer-to-peer nature, a Syncthing instance is both a client and a server — an ideal setup for me is developed around the following hierarchy of instances:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                1. On my home server
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  • A centralized place where everything (storage permitting) can reside together, and scripts can run on a schedule, for secondary syncing and backup operations (which go far beyond the scopes of Syncthing).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              When writing a KB article or a blog post, choosing a cover image might seem like a skippable step, but in fact it often is an important one. A cover is a must-have on ideally any article, as it provides quite a few benefits:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              • With some pagination templates, it gives the reading view a bit of color and graphicality, especially important for the reader (both ourselves and the visitors) when the article body doesn't contain any image.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                • This is also valid (and maybe more so) for lists and grids of posts on the website, where it's nice to see each entry have a diverse picture.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              • Grabbing the feeble attention of people who might see your post in their news or social media feed, or in a group chat.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              • SEO advantages, as the article is more likely to be found for multiple search sources and inputs.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              After seeing all the benefits listed above, I think it's easy to spot some natural requirements that the image must possess to be really good for the cause, which by themselves bring other benefits to the mix:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              • Easy on the eyes, with low complexity, but colorful and eye-catching at the same time.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              • Bringing some kind of attention to the article core, even before the reading starts.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                • Ideally, conveying also the same core emotion or feeling the article revolves around.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              All of this does feel like a chore when you actually come to do it practice — and sometimes impossible — I have to admit that, but there are a few ways to make the work less painful:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              • Sometimes, editing and styling photos from the article body, or making some other dedicated to the cover in this same fashion, is more than good.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              • Agile article covers, from stock photos to AI — for when your own artistic ability or photographic opportunity just don't cut it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  All your content and app runtime can stay inside a single HTML file; it will probably work fine in browsers in the decades to come.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The base software runs both in the web browser (ES5 or higher?) and Node.js; the latter makes it possibile to export tiddlers to a file system programmatically, generate static sites, etc...
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Feature-rich and powerful out of the box, with (up to a certain point) high extensibility.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Big community, meaning you can often get help with problems, and many third-party plugins are available.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The default configuration works fine on mobile devices, unlike what happens with some plugins.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  What I don't like
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The Widgets/Filters/Macros systems is based on proprietary paradigms; they are made to allow people without programming experience to do great things, but are cumbersome and hard to learn if you already have common programming experience.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  JavaScript extensions are cumbersome, requiring a page reload to work after an edit
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  It's not easy, or sometimes it's not possibile, to extend TiddlyWiki with just pure JavaScript, and trying to do so always requires ugly hacks.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Widgets and Filters are essentially an interpreted language working on top of an interpreted language (JS); Since even the app core makes heavy use of them, it suffers from microlags even on modern devices, and can be's almost unusable on very old ones.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  No built-in tiddler compression and decompression means the HTML file is big by default (~2.3 MB as of v5.2.3) and can get worse with many plugins, causing slow loading and saving.
